Single quotes or double quotes for strings in the WHERE clause?

I usually use single quotes to enclose a string to compare in the WHERE clause like so

SELECT * FROM table WHERE column1 = 'string'

is there a difference compared to WHERE column1 = "string" ? will most RDBMS accept double quotes? whats the standard?
